[issue24470] ctypes incorrect handling of long int on 64bits Linux

[eryksun]

eryksun added the comment:

It works for me:

    >>> open('test.c', 'w').write('long test(long x) {return x;}')
    >>> os.system('gcc -shared -fPIC -o test.so test.c')
    0
    >>> test = CDLL('./test.so').test
    >>> test.restype = c_long
    >>> test.argtypes = (c_long,)
    >>> test(2**63-1) == 2**63-1
    True

However, I used the correct attribute name, "argtypes". ctypes objects have dicts to allow setting arbitrary attribute names, so you won't get an AttributeError when setting "args" on a function pointer.
